Reception
The film has a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on fourteen reviews.
Alan Ng of 'Film Threat' rated the film an 8.5 out of 10, calling it "a heartfelt and touching movie about finding joy and fulfillment in life."
Ross Bonaime of Collider graded the film an A- and wrote, "With this film about people trying to find what makes them extraordinary, West has made an extraordinary tale of the personal universes we all inhabit, the strange messiness of life, and the beauty of how everything all shakes out in the end."
Trace Sauveur of 'The Austin Chronicle' gave the film a positive review and wrote, "...a surprising and poignant reflection on what it means to live a fulfilling life, the memories and evocations of which will swell within you long after theyve passed."
Brian Tallerico of 'RogerEbert.com' gave the film a negative review, calling it "a film with so many good ideas, especially in its final ten minutes, but without the clear vision to coalesce them into something that works from beginning to end."
Mae Abdulbaki of 'Screen Rant' awarded the film three stars out of five and wrote, "While the film doesnt always soar to its potential, it offers a fascinating, resplendent look at regret and the untapped potential of their youth."
Angie Han of 'The Hollywood Reporter' gave the film a positive review and wrote, "But thoughtful performances and earnest (if especially subtle) writing keep the film compelling enough until its final minutes, which are even more startling in their heart-wrenching effectiveness than in their mind-bending twists."
Pete Hammond of 'Deadline Hollywood' gave the film a positive review and wrote, "For me 'Linoleum' is a pleasant enough, if somewhat less than memorable ride that doesnt really take flight like you might hope it would. For Gaffigan fans though that should be enough."
Robert Daniels of IndieWire graded the film a B and wrote, "'Linoleum' is an otherworldly tragedy about endings and beginnings, and the existential rot whose origins feel unknown."
Matt Donato of 'IGN' gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Director Colin West plucks heartstrings that inspire our zest for lives lived to the fullest, delivered through both peaceful and aggressive means."
Ethan Anderton of 'Slash Film' gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Jim Gaffigan has easily delivered a career-best performance in 'Linoleum.'"
